Just so you know, this is a funny and very touching episode, in equal measure. Seven gets to make more of a connection to reclaiming her humanity, too. So, it's not all about the Doctor.
There are certain parallels occurring even now, in 2016, with regard to acceptance of certain sexual and gender orientations - which this episode strikes a chord with, if you ask me. Not that it covers these topics, per say, but its points can easily be carried through and onto such subjects, and highlight them (for anybody with an empathic enough, and wise enough heart/mind).
When I saw this episode, it again served as a reminder and question of "Just how many times does the Human Race need to make the EXACT SAME MISTAKES over something/somebody which/who is "different" or against "the norm" - how many times does it need to go on the "Witch Hunt" - before it finally grows a gosh darn BRAIN, and learns its lesson!?".
I highly recommend that you watch and enjoy this episode of Voyager (I am sure the latter is an inevitability). And hope that you give that question above some major thought. Because, what are we, if we can't empathize, and put ourselves in the shoes of another? The answer, is NOTHING. Live Long, And Prosper...
